The Shank: Why It Isn't Random, and How to Stop It
-

A shank feels random. It isn't. It's a heel strike that's gone too far — and it leaves clues long before it shows up.
In this episode, PGA Fellow Coach Steve Thomas breaks down what's actually happening when you shank it, the most common reasons behind it, and how to fix each one. Plus a ten-ball test that tells you whether you're heading towards a shank before you ever hit one.
In this episode: - What a shank actually is — and why "you're standing too close" is usually wrong - The only two things that make it happen: the club moves out, or the club moves down - Why an open clubface on its own doesn't tend to cause it - Three of the most common reasons, each with a fix and a drill: the wall drill, the stop-start swing, and the alignment stick and head-height drills - What to do when it turns up mid-round — and why you can't shank a putter - The Strike Map: ten balls, a sprayed clubface and a score out of twenty that shows you where to start
